< summary of operation of network System 1 >
Next, an outline of the operation of the network system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1. The network system 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that a plurality of servers 100 on the cloud provide various services. For example, the user can install an application program for home appliance control in communication terminal 300, remotely control various electrical devices 200 using communication terminal 300, and acquire operation information and environment information of electrical devices 200.
In particular, in the present embodiment, server 100 collects various data related to a plurality of electrical devices 200 owned by a user, and automatically transmits an operation command to a plurality of electrical devices 200. More specifically, the server 100 finds a combination of a plurality of operation commands for a plurality of electrical devices 200, which are more likely to occur, and thereby transmits the operation commands to other electrical devices included in the combination when the operation commands for the electrical devices 200 included in the combination are input.
For example, the server 100 recognizes that the user or the home is concerned, and sets the illumination of the living room to OFF, the illumination of the kitchen to OFF, the television to OFF, the set temperature of the air conditioner to 27 ℃, the lamp of the bedroom to ON, and the combination of classical music to be played from the speaker between 22 to 23 nights.

As described above, in the network system 1 according to the present embodiment, the plurality of electrical devices 200 can be operated in a simple manner in accordance with the operation of the user. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the network system 1 for realizing such a function will be described in detail.
< construction of Server 100 >
First, a description will be given of a configuration of the server 100 constituting the network system 1 according to the present embodiment. Referring to fig. 2, the server 100 includes, as main components, a cpu (central Processing unit)110, a memory 120, an operation unit 140, and a communication interface 160.
The CPU110 executes the program stored in the memory 120, thereby controlling each section of the server 100. For example, the CPU110 executes various processes described later by executing a program stored in the memory 120 and referring to various data.
The memory 120 may be implemented by various rams (random Access memories), various ROMs (Read-only memories), or the like, may be included in the server 100, may be various interfaces that can be attached to and detached from the server 100, or may be a recording medium of another device that can be accessed (accessed) from the server 100. The memory 120 stores a program executed by the CPU110, data generated by the execution of the program by the CPU110, data that has been input, a database used for services according to another embodiment, and the like
For example, the memory 120 stores user information data 121 as shown in fig. 3. The user information data 121 is a data storing user ID, user name, family ID, email address, password, identification information of various services the user joins, service contents, and the like, for each user.
The memory 120 stores device information data 122 as shown in fig. 4. The device information data 122 stores, for each electrical device, a device ID, a device type, a user ID of an owner, operation information during execution, environment information, identification information of various services registered in the electrical device, service contents, and the like.
The memory 120 stores operation information data 123 as shown in fig. 5. The operation information data 123 is stored with each operation, i.e., an operation history, of the operated electrical device, the operated date and time, the operated command content, and the like.
The memory 120 stores trigger data 124 as shown in fig. 6. The trigger data 124 stores, as trigger information, a correspondence relationship between the operation command and the electrical device to be operated, as a trigger for creating a group to be a combination of the operation commands, or as a trigger for automatically starting the combination of the operation commands.
The memory 120 stores operation command group data 125 as shown in fig. 7. The operation command group data 125 is a group in which a time slot, a combination of a plurality of operation targets and operation commands, and a flag indicating whether or not confirmation by the user is obtained are stored for each operation command, that is, for each combination of a plurality of operation commands regarding the plurality of electrical devices 200 that are considered to be likely to occur. In the present embodiment, predetermined operations for a television, an air conditioner, and lighting are set as triggers. The other operations are not triggered but are automatically executed as the items included in the operation command group.
These data 121 to 125 are not limited to such a manner, and may be data relating to a user, an electric equipment device to be operated, an operation command, an engine condition, and the like.
Returning to fig. 2, the operation unit 140 receives a command from a service manager or the like and inputs the command to the CPU 110.
< information processing by Server 100 >
Next, information processing by the server 100 will be described with reference to fig. 8. CPU110 of server 100 according to the present embodiment receives data from communication terminal 300 in accordance with the program in memory 120, and executes the following processing.
First, CPU110 acquires an operation command from electrical device 200 via communication interface 160, and stores the operation command in operation information data 123 (step S102).
The CPU110 refers to the trigger data 124 and determines whether or not the present operation command corresponds to a trigger (step S104). If the current operation command does not correspond to the trigger (no in step S104), CPU110 ends the current process.
If the present operation command corresponds to the trigger (yes in step S104), CPU110 refers to operation command group data 125, and searches for an operation command group, which is a combination of operation commands that match the issued operation command at the present time (step S106).
If an operation command group matching the operation command issued at the present time is found (yes in step S106), CPU110 transmits an operation command to each of the plurality of electric devices 200 included in each of the groups via communication interface 160 (step S120).
If the operation command group whose current time matches the operation command issued is not found (no in step S106), CPU110 refers to operation information data 123 and searches for an input of an operation command that is triggered within a predetermined time period from the current time, for example, within 15 minutes before and after the current time, with respect to days going back several days from now (step S110).
The CPU110 determines whether or not a combination of a plurality of operation commands to the plurality of electric devices 200, that is, an operation command group can be created (step S112). For example, the CPU110 refers to the operation information data 123, and determines whether or not the same operation command as this time is received a predetermined number of times or more, for example, 6 times, within a predetermined time period from the present time, for example, within 15 minutes before and after the present time, in relation to days going back only a predetermined number of days, for example, 10 days from the present time.
In the case where a group can be created, the CPU110 summarizes the operation commands of the triggers and the operation commands other than the triggers included within a predetermined time from the present time, regarding days going back several days from the present time, and creates the operation command group (step S114).
CPU110 makes it possible to inquire whether or not a plurality of operation commands are executable by causing electrical device 200 or communication terminal 300 held by a user of electrical device 200 to output a message indicating a plurality of operation commands to a plurality of electrical devices 200 to be operated via communication interface 160 (step S116).
If the user' S permission is not obtained (no in step S116), CPU110 ends the current process.
When the user permission is obtained (yes in step S116), CPU110 summarizes the operation commands of the trigger and the operation commands other than the trigger included within a predetermined time period from the current time as the operation command group and registers the operation commands in operation command group data 125 (step S118).
CPU110 transmits a plurality of operation commands to each of a plurality of electrical devices 200 included in the group via communication interface 160 (step S120).
< construction of Electrical apparatus 200 >
Next, with reference to fig. 9, a description will be given of a configuration of electrical device 200 constituting network system 1. The electric device 200 of the present embodiment includes, as main components, a CPU210, a memory 220, a display 230, an operation unit 240, a communication interface 260, a speaker 270, a microphone 280, and a device driver 290.
The CPU210 executes a program stored in the memory 220 or an external storage medium, thereby controlling each part of the electric device 200.
The display 230 outputs characters, images, and the like based on a signal from the CPU 210. The display 230 may be an LED lamp or the like.
The operation unit 240 is implemented by a button, a touch panel, or the like, receives a command from a user, and inputs the command to the CPU 210. The display 230 and the operation unit 240 may constitute a touch panel 250.
The communication interface 260 is realized by an antenna for performing wireless communication, a connector for performing wired communication, or the like. CPU210 exchanges various data with server 100, other electrical devices 200, and communication terminal 300 via router 400, a network, and the like, by using communication interface 260. For example, the CPU210 transmits an operation command that has been input from the user to the server 100 or receives an operation command from the server 100 via the communication interface 260.
The speaker 270 outputs an audio message or the like based on audio data from the CPU 210. The microphone 280 acquires a voice of the user and inputs voice data to the CPU 210.
The device driving unit 290 controls each unit (motor, heater, sensor, antenna, etc.) of the electrical device 200 based on a signal from the CPU 210. For example, the microwave oven 200A may be an antenna or a rotary table for heating and conditioning, or the air conditioner 200B may be a compressor or a fan.
< construction of communication terminal 300 >
Next, with reference to fig. 10, a description will be given of a configuration of the communication terminal 300 constituting the network system 1. The communication terminal 300 of the present embodiment includes, as main components, a CPU310, a memory 320, a display 330, an operation unit 340, a communication interface 360, a speaker 370, a microphone 380, and a GPS antenna 390.
CPU310 executes the program stored in memory 320, thereby controlling each section of communication terminal 300.
The memory 320 is implemented by various RAMs, various ROMs, and the like. The memory 320 stores data generated by the execution of an application program for various services, a program for a notification agent (agent), a program of the CPU310, data received from the server 100, data that has been input via the operation unit 340, information for specifying the user of the communication terminal 300, and the like.
The speaker 370 outputs a voice message or the like based on the voice data from the CPU 310. Microphone 380 acquires the voice of the user and inputs voice data to CPU 310.
The GPS antenna 390 receives radio signals from satellites and transmits the radio signals to the CPU 310. CPU310 obtains the current position based on the GPS signal.
In the present embodiment, CPU310 acquires various information from server 100 via communication interface 360. CPU310 obtains image data and audio data via communication interface 360 and outputs the image data and audio data from display 330 and speaker 370 in accordance with various application programs, using user current position information, calendar information, weather forecast information, user preferences, and the like.
Further, the CPU310 preferably outputs a proposal sound of a collective operation command from the server 100 via the speaker 370, accepts a collective operation command to the plurality of electric devices 200 via the microphone 380, and accepts a permission command and a prohibition command of a proposal of the collective operation command.
Further, CPU310 may receive registration of operation commands to a plurality of electrical devices 200 as manual operations from the user via operation unit 340, and unify the types of operation commands. CPU310 transmits, to server 100, registration information of operation commands for a plurality of electrical devices 200, which are unified for each type of operation command, via communication interface 360. The CPU110 of the server 100 receives the login information via the communication interface 160, and logs the operation commands for the plurality of electrical devices 200 in the operation command group data 125 for each user ID and each family ID.
< second embodiment >
In the above-described embodiment, the group of operation commands matching the triggered operation command in the same time zone as the current time is searched with reference to the operation command group data 125 (step S106 in fig. 8), or it is determined whether or not the triggered operation command is received a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period during the day (step S112).
However, for example, in step S108, the CPU110 may determine whether or not a predetermined number of operation commands corresponding to the trigger, for example, two or more operation commands, are received. That is, when a group including a plurality of types of operation commands corresponding to a trigger is found in the same time zone as the current time (yes in step S108), CPU110 may transmit a plurality of operation commands included in the group to each of a plurality of electrical devices 200 included in each of the groups via communication interface 160 (step S120).
In step S112, CPU110 may refer to operation information data 123, determine whether or not the operation command of the same trigger as this time from the present time to a predetermined time has been received a predetermined number of times or more with respect to the day of the last predetermined number of days, and determine whether or not the operation command of another trigger has been received a predetermined number of times within the predetermined time from the present time to the day of the last predetermined number of days. That is, the CPU110 may be a combination of a plurality of types of triggered operation commands, and may be grouped when a predetermined number of times of reception is performed.
< third embodiment >
In the above-described embodiment, the operation command group whose current time matches the triggered operation command is searched back only by the predetermined number of days (step S106 in fig. 8), or it is determined whether or not the triggered operation command is received a predetermined number of times or more in a predetermined time zone by the back only by the predetermined number of days (step S112).
However, in step S106, the CPU110 may retrieve the operation command group of the same time slot on the same day of the week based on the day of the week. For example, in the present embodiment, the operation command group data 125 is a group of each operation command, and is associated with a time slot at least on the day of the week.
In step S112, the CPU110 may refer to the operation information data 123 and determine whether or not the operation commands of the same types of triggers as the current time are received by a predetermined number of times or more with respect to the day of the same day until the predetermined number of days are traced back, based on the day of the week.
< fourth embodiment >
In the above embodiment, the trigger data 124 is predetermined. However, the type of operation command as a trigger may be set for each user. For example, as shown in fig. 11, communication terminal 300 of the user may receive an operation command to be triggered by electrical device 200 and transmit the operation command to server 100. The server 100 registers the type of the operation command triggered for each user in the user information data 121 and the like.
< fifth embodiment >
In the above-described embodiment, CPU110 makes an inquiry to the effect that a plurality of operation commands included in a group can be executed by causing electrical device 200 or communication terminal 300 held by a user of electrical device 200 to output a message indicating the plurality of operation commands and operation target electrical device 200 via communication interface 160 (step S116 in fig. 8).
However, CPU110 may try to transmit a plurality of operation commands to each of a plurality of electric devices 200 included in a currently-created group via communication interface 160 in step S116, and cause electric device 200 or communication terminal 300 held by a user of electric device 200 to output a message asking whether or not a unified operation command as currently being executed can be automatically input via communication interface 160. When the user permission is obtained (yes in step S116), CPU110 summarizes the operation commands of the trigger and the operation commands other than the trigger included within a predetermined time period from the current time as the operation command group and registers the operation commands in operation command group data 125 (step S118).
Alternatively, CPU110 may cause electrical device 200 or communication terminal 300 held by the user of electrical device 200 to output a message asking whether or not a normal operation command can be automatically input via communication interface 160 in step S116. When the user permission is obtained (yes in step S116), CPU110 summarizes the operation commands of the trigger and the operation commands other than the trigger included within a predetermined time period from the current time as the operation command group and registers the operation commands in operation command group data 125 (step S118).
< sixth embodiment >
In the above-described embodiment, if the permission of the user is obtained in step S116, CPU110 transmits a plurality of operation commands to each of a plurality of electrical devices 200 included in the group via communication interface 160 without performing the step of obtaining the permission of the user thereafter (step S120).
However, as shown in fig. 12, when a group of operation commands that match the operation command at the present time is found (yes in step S106), CPU110 may ask the user of electrical device 200 via communication interface 160 to output a message indicating a plurality of operation commands included in the group and electrical device 200 to be operated (step S117), each time electric device 200 or communication terminal 300 held by the user outputs the message.
When the permission of the user is obtained (yes in step S117), CPU110 transmits a plurality of operation commands to each of a plurality of electrical devices 200 included in the group via communication interface 160 (step S120).
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 13, the group may be determined whether or not to transmit a plurality of operation commands at a time without registering.
More specifically, CPU110 acquires an operation command from electrical device 200 via communication interface 160, and stores the operation command in operation information data 123 (step S102).
The CPU110 refers to the trigger data 124 and determines whether or not the present operation command corresponds to a trigger (step S104). If the current operation command does not correspond to the trigger (no in step S104), CPU110 ends the current process.
If the current operation command corresponds to a trigger (yes in step S104), CPU110 refers to operation information data 123, and searches for a triggered operation command within a predetermined time period, for example, within 15 minutes before and after the current time, from the current time, regarding days from the present to the day back several days (step S110).
CPU110 determines whether a group of a plurality of operation commands to a plurality of electrical devices 200 can be created (step S112). For example, the CPU110 refers to the operation information data 123, and determines whether or not the same operation command as this time is received a predetermined number of times or more, for example, 6 times, within a predetermined time period from the present time, for example, within 15 minutes before and after the present time, regarding days to which only a predetermined number of days, for example, 10 days, have been traced back. Further, as in the above-described embodiment, it may be determined whether or not the predetermined number or more of triggered commands match a predetermined number or more of times.
In the case where a group can be created, the CPU110 summarizes the operation commands of the trigger and the operation commands other than the trigger included within a predetermined time from the present time, which are related to days going back several days from the present time, and creates the operation command group (step S114).
CPU110 makes electrical device 200 or communication terminal 300 owned by the user of electrical device 200 output a message indicating a plurality of operation commands included in the group and electrical device 200 to be operated, via communication interface 160, thereby making an inquiry to the effect that the plurality of operation commands can be executed (step S116).
If the user' S permission is not obtained (no in step S116), CPU110 ends the current process.
When permission of the user is obtained (yes in step S116), CPU110 transmits a plurality of operation commands to each of a plurality of electrical devices 200 included in the group via communication interface 160 (step S120).
< seventh embodiment >
In the above-described embodiment, CPU110 executes the subsequent processing when receiving the data of the operation information from electrical device 200, but may periodically execute the processing from step S104 even if it does not receive the data from home appliance 200.
< eighth embodiment >
Other devices may perform part or all of the roles of the devices in the network system 1 according to the above-described embodiment. For example, the other device may assume part or all of the roles of each of server 100, electrical device 200, and communication terminal 300, or share part or all of the roles of one of these devices with a plurality of devices.
For example, a plurality of servers on the cloud may assume part or all of the roles of the server 100, or the electrical device 200 and the communication terminal 300 may assume part or all of the roles of the server 100.
< summary >
